Our first trip to the Brocante this year

The new year’s Brocante was a treasure trove of “goodies” this year. The sun was shining as it has been the past few days and the local Brocante was buzzy. A picture says a thousand words so I will leave you to enjoy.

Loved this vase but it was a bit pricey

My friend bought this chair for 40 euros. It will look great in her house

This is coming back with me to London where it will be repainted a subtle Farrow and Ball Greige

I love these pictures. They are asking quite a lot of money for them. One day I will get one

The French do like their furs especially vintage ones

A great variety of superb glasswork

You can find similar cabinets at Maison du Monde and Mirrors

A selection of vintage jewellery and handbags

Des Femmes encore!

Thank you for reading. I really love to hear from you and appreciate the time you take to leave comments.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

I do love a French fleamarket - the vase and the 'Bar des femmes' pictures are lovely. Did you haggle?

I'll have one of each, thank you. Lovely. The "Bar des Femmes" would be perfect over my wine rack. Happy hunting!

Yes I did haggle and got quite a lot of euros off the red table.
Can't afford the pictures at the moment but an saving up. Also need smaller size as those ones were too big for my wall.
